(1863-1947) Welsh journalist, essayist, and author of horror fiction. Author, The Novel of the Black Seal, The Red Hand, The Shining Pyramid, The White People, etc. Of him, Lovecraft said: "Of living creators of cosmic fear raised to its most artistic pitch, few if any can hope to equal the versatile Arthur Machen; author of some dozen tales long and short, in which the elements of hidden horror and brooding fright attain an almost incomparable substance and realistic acuteness... his powerful horror-material of the 'ninetees and earlier nineteen-hundreds stands alone in its class, and marks a distinct epoch in the history of this literary form." [Lovecraft, "Supernatural Horror in Literature," Chapter X].
Henry Armitage referred to Arthur Machen's story "The Great God Pan" while pondering the identity of Wilbur Whateley's father [HPL Dunwich (online text)].
Francis Wayland Thurston referred to "those nightmares and phantasies which Arthur Machen evokes in prose" [HPL Call (online text)].

Name used in the Roman Empire for the goddess Cybele, of Anatolian origin. "In contrast to her public role as a protector of cities, Cybele was also the focus of mystery cult, private rites with a chthonic aspect connected to hero cult and exclusive to those who had undergone initiation, though it is unclear who Cybele's initiates were. . . Literary sources describe joyous abandonment to the loud, percussive music of tympanon, castanets, clashing cymbals and flutes, and to the frenzied 'Phrygian dancing', perhaps a form of circle-dancing by women, to the roar of 'wise and healing music of the gods'." She was the mother of the god Atys (or Attis). [Cybele, Wikipedia]
Exham Priory stood on the site of a prehistoric temple, which in later Roman times was dedicated to Magna Mater. [HPL Rats (online text)]
The Romans worshippers of the Magna Mater incorporated into their ritual the mystic adoration, "Gorgo, Mormo, thousand-faced moon."

(c. 1200–1280), "also known as Saint Albert the Great, Albert of Swabia or Albert of Cologne, was a German Dominican friar, philosopher, scientist, and bishop, considered one of the greatest medieval philosophers and thinkers . . . In the centuries since his death, many stories arose about Albert as an alchemist and magician . . . On the subject of alchemy and chemistry, many treatises relating to alchemy have been attributed to him, though in his authentic writings he had little to say on the subject . . . A wide range of Pseudo-Albertine works dealing with alchemy exist, though, showing the belief developed in the generations following Albert's death that he had mastered alchemy, one of the fundamental sciences of the Middle Ages. These include Metals and Materials; the Secrets of Chemistry; the Origin of Metals; the Origins of Compounds, and a Concordance which is a collection of Observations on the philosopher's stone; and other alchemy-chemistry topics, collected under the name of Theatrum Chemicum . . . Albert was deeply interested in astrology . . . Albert argued that an understanding of the celestial influences affecting us could help us to live our lives more in accord with Christian precepts. The most comprehensive statement of his astrological beliefs is to be found in two separates works that he authored around 1260, known as the Speculum astronomiae and the De Fato."

The greatest king of the Picts. He was of the blood of Brule the Spear-slayer, the Pictish friend of King Kull of Valusia who reigned thousands of years ago before. Bran gathered the broken lines of the Pictish tribes into a single mighty nation, drove forth the Norseman and Briton and shattered the legions of Rome, and became king of all Caledon. After Bran fell in battle, the nation fell apart. The Dark Man, a statue of Bran, became a figure of worship to the surviving Picts. [REH Dark (online text)]

"The Malleus Maleficarum, usually translated as the Hammer of Witches, is the best known treatise on witchcraft. It was written by the Catholic clergyman Heinrich Kramer (under his Latinized name Henricus Institoris) and first published in the German city of Speyer in 1486. It endorses extermination of witches and for this purpose develops a detailed legal and theological theory. It has been described as the compendium of literature in demonology of the 15th century. . . The Malleus elevates sorcery to the criminal status of heresy and recommends that secular courts prosecute it as such. The Malleus suggests torture to effectively obtain confessions and the death penalty as the only certain remedy against the evils of witchcraft. At the time of its publication, heretics were frequently punished to be burned alive at the stake and the Malleus encouraged the same treatment of witches. The book had a strong influence on culture for several centuries." [Malleus Maleficarum, Wikipedia]
Uriah Garrison had a copy in his library [AWD Attic].
A copy was found in the possessions of the late Asaph Peabody [AWD Peabody]. The Peabody Heritage narrator quotes portions; below are the quotations, with links to the corresponding pages in the Malleus Maleficarum at the Internet Archive:
- "Among their chief operations are being bodily transported from place to place..." [Part II, Question I, Chapter III]
- "seduced by the illusions and phantasms of devils, do actually, as they believe and profess, ride in the night-time on certain beasts..." [Part I, Question X]
- "or simply walk upon the air out of the openings built for them and for none other." [I have not located the source for this quotation, which may have been imagined by the Peabody Heritage narrator.]
- "Satan himself deludes in dreams the mind which he holds captive, leading it through devious ways..." ["For Satan himself transforms himself into the shape and likeness of different persons, and in dreams deluding the mind which he holds captive, leads it through devious ways." Part I, Question X]
- "They take the unguent, which they make at the devil’s instruction from the limbs of children, particularly of those whom they have killed, and anoint with it a chair or a broomstick; whereupon they are immediately carried up into the air, either by day or by night, and either visibly or, if they wish, invisibly..." ["they take the unguent which, as we have said, they make at the devil’s instruction from the limbs of children, particularly of those whom they have killed before baptism, and anoint with it a chair or a broomstick ; whereupon they are immediately carried up into the air, either by day or by night, and either visibly or, if they wish, invisibly..."

"The Mass of Saint-Sécaire is a ritual supposed to have been performed in Gascony, France . . . The ritual was a form of Black Mass, a parody of the Roman Catholic Mass . . . According to the recorded account, the Mass could only be said in a ruined or deserted church. At precisely the first stroke of 11 o'clock the corrupt priest, with only his lover as attendant, would begin to recite the Mass backwards, being sure to finish at precisely the last stroke of midnight . . . At the very end the officiant would pronounce the name of a victim who, it was believed, would soon simply waste away and die, with no cause that could be understood by medicine." There seems to be no information available about the "St. Secaire" that the Mass is named after. [The Mass of Saint-Sécaire and Talk:The Mass of Saint-Sécaire, Wikipedia]

(1663-1728) New England puritan author and preacher who was involved in the Salem witch trials. Author of Magnalia Christi Americana and Wonders of the Invisible World.
Mather looked on sanctimoniously when Richard Upton Pickman's four-times-great-grandmother was hanged on Gallows Hill in Salem. Mather told of strange things in old Salem times. [HPL Pickman (online text)]

Mather affirmed that this America is the devil's paradise or the witches' paradise. At the time of Hallow-Mass on Dorcas Frye's visit to Roodford, Frye reflected that Mather was sick in bed with a colic sent by the devil. [RB Satan]

.jpg&oldid=743085089 "Medusa head attributed to Gianlorenza Bernini (Wikimedia)")
"In Greek mythology, Medusa (Ancient Greek: Μέδουσα, romanized: Médousa, lit. 'guardian, protectress'), also called Gorgo (Ancient Greek: Γοργώ) or the Gorgon, was one of the three Gorgons. Medusa is generally described as a woman with living snakes in place of hair; her appearance was so hideous that anyone who looked upon her was turned to stone." [Medusa, Wikipedia]
The hair of Marceline Bedard was suggestive of the Medusa. Her artist devotee Frank Marsh said there were veiled facts behing the legend of Medusa's snaky locks. Marceline was the thing from which the first dim legends of Medusa and the Gorgons had sprung. After Marceline's death, Antoine de Russy felt that he was trapped by Medusa's coil, unable to leave the estate called Riverside because of the still-living locks of Marceline that were buried below. [HPL Medusa (online text)]
The head of Rhan-Tegoth had long, thick tentacles, marked with spiral stripes—suggesting the traditional serpent-locks of Medusa. [HPL Museum (online text)]

A Hebrew phrase quoted by Zadok Allen when describing the Dagon cult at Innsmouth [HPL Innsmouth (online text) 334, 337]. The reference is from Daniel chapter 5, where the story is told how King Belshazzar mocked the beliefs of the Jews by drinking wine from their sacred vessels at a party and praising the gods of the elements from which the vessels were made; and how a hand suddenly appeared and wrote the phrase mene, mene, tekel, upharsin on the palace wall. The prophet Daniel explained the phrase to mean that Belshazzar had been weighed in the balance and found wanting, and that his kingdom would shortly be taken from him. Zadok may have meant that the Dagon cult was comparable to the Babylonians in terms of its depraved practices and pagan nature.

Mictlanteuctli, Mictlantecutli
"Mictlāntēcutli or Mictlantecuhtli (meaning 'Lord of Mictlan'), in Aztec mythology, is a god of the dead and the king of Mictlan (Chicunauhmictlan), the lowest and northernmost section of the underworld. He is one of the principal gods of the Aztecs and is the most prominent of several gods and goddesses of death and the underworld. The worship of Mictlantecuhtli sometimes involved ritual cannibalism, with human flesh being consumed in and around the temple." [Mictlāntēcutli, Wikipedia]
At a hidden cave on the wild slope of the haunted Sierra de Malinche, Arthur Feldon chanted to Mictlanteuctli and other deities (including Cthulhutl) shortly before apparently executing himself with an electric device. Later, it seemed that Feldon, or perhaps his ghost or astral projection, exclaimed "Mictlanteuctli, Great Lord," while menacing the Electric Executioner narrator. [HPL Electric (online text)]

A land said to be "still, and remote from most other lands both of waking and of dream" [HPL Doom (online text)]. While the land of Mnar has a dreamlike quality, it seems to have had a physical existence on earth some 10,000 years ago. Thus, we are told that Ib existed long ago in the land of Mnar [Mountains (online text)], and that Sarnath stood in the land of Mnar when mankind was young [Nameless (online text)]. Also, Iranon searched Mnar in vain for his remembered city of Aira, only to discover that Aira was unreachable because it had only ever existed in his dreams. It would seem to follow Mnar was in the waking world [Iranon (online text)].
On the other hand, the men of Inganok in the dreamlands traded onyx to merchants from the cities of Thraa, Ilarnek, and Kadatheron, which were in Mnar [Kadath (online text)].
The idol of Bokrug, enshrined in the high temple at Ilarnek, was subsequently worshipped beneath the gibbous moon throughout the land of Mnar. [HPL Doom (online text)]

Note also that Kadath (online text) does not refer to any of the places mentioned in Iranon (online text), save Lomar and some cities that are in Mnar; that is, Kadath (online text) did not induct this story into dreamland geography, as it did all the other dream tales. The story's theme of the unreality of dreams also argues against its taking place in the land of Dream.

"William Herbert Mortensen (January 27, 1897 – August 12, 1965) was an American glamour photographer, primarily known for his Hollywood portraits in the 1920s–1940s in the Pictorialist style... During the 1920s and 1930s, he was inspired by horror films being adapted in studios, and ended up making portraits about them in his own style. His favorite photographic topics were of witches, dancers, demons, peasants, and Shakespearean actors." [William Mortensen, Wikipedia, 11/12/20]
RB Sorcerer (online text) 149, 151: David Niles was a devotee of the William Mortensen school of photography, including Mortensen's technique of "bending and twisting the negative so that prints showed elongated or flattened figures in nightmarish fashion."

(1863–1963) "an Anglo-Indian Egyptologist, archaeologist, anthropologist, historian, and folklorist. The first woman to be appointed as a lecturer in archaeology in the United Kingdom, she worked at University College London (UCL) from 1898 to 1935." She researched and lectured on Egypology and participated in or led a number of archeological digs. "Unable to return to Egypt due to the First World War, she focused her research on the witch-cult hypothesis, the theory that the witch trials of Early Modern Christendom were an attempt to extinguish a surviving pre-Christian, pagan religion devoted to a Horned God. Although later academically discredited, the theory gained widespread attention and proved a significant influence on the emerging new religious movement of Wicca."
